Application filed September To all i a'iom it may concern:

lie it known that I. ililnuk l). lltunu, eiti- Zen of the United States,residing at l lau (llait'e, in the county of l lau t laire and State of/Viseonsin, have invented certain new and useful l nnn'ovements inStumping-dltaohincs, of which the l'hllouiu}; is a speci titration.

This invention comprehemls certain new and useful improveutents inlogging, yard-- lug and hoisting engines, and relates particularly to animproved machine of this character tlOSl llttl for use in clearing land,although it is appliaihle for other uses gene ally as above iznlicated.

The invention has for its primary ohject a simple, strong and dnrahlemachine of this type which will he ellieieutin ope ation and capable ofbeing easily controlled, and the invention consists in ceraiuconstructions, arrangements and combinations ot the parts that it shallhereinafter tally descrihe and claim.

For a tall um'lerstauding of the invention, reference to he had to thetollowing description and accompanying drawings in which Figure l is atop plan view of a machine constructed in accordance with my invention;Fig. 2 is a. side elevation thereot; Fig. 53 is an enlarged detailsectional view of one of the clutches employed; Fig. l: is a side eleatiou looking from the side opposite to that illustrated in l ig. 2.Fig. 5 is a detail view of one part of the clutch illustrat'ed partly inFig. 3: and, llig. (3 is a transverse detail sectional view through oneof the other clutches.

corres iionding and like parts are re't'errtail to in the 'l'ollowingdescription and indicated in all the views of the aceompanying d awiugshy the same rel'erenee characters.

The tramework of my improved machine may he of any desired construction,size,

and design so long as it sahserves its primary function at a strong anddurable sup port for the operatingparts and it is designed also tosupport a prime mover which in the present instances is convenientlyillustrated as a steam engine emhodying a holler 1. two cylinders 2 arnnged on opposite sides of the hoilen steam chests I tor the respectivecylinders, pitmeu l in the respective eylim'lers and valve stems 5working in the respective steam ches the pitmen 1- are connectedhy,wrist pins to eranlt disks 6 Specification of Letters Patent.

secured to the opposite ends at a laterally extending main driving shaft7 which is jourualed in pillow hloeks or other hearings in the main.sidi and intermediate sills of the framework. The valve stems 5 areoperatirely connected in any desired way to eccentrics secured to theshaft 7.

There are two loose gear wheels on the shaft T. one designated is largerthan the other wheel. designated 9. The wheel meshes with a relativelysmall pinion l and the gear wheel 9 meshes with a relatively large gearwheel ill. The pinion l0 and wheel ll are hoth tast on a transversely exteruling counter shalt l2 journaled in the framework as best illustratedin Fig. 1. winding drum 13 is also mounted on the cminterslm'tt 12 beingloose thereon and is designed to he engaged with the gear wheel ll. byany desired (clutch, such as that indicated at 1 in Fig. and part; ofwhich is also shown in Fig. 1. The drum 1.3 is moved into engagementwith its driving gear wheel ll by means o'l, a'st *am actuated pistonrod 15, hut as the specific eonstruotiou oil the clutch For the drumsand actuating mechanism there For form no part ot my present invention,T have deemed it unnee; essary to descrihe such parts in tall. Meshingwith the pinion is a gear wheel 16 secured fast on another actuatingshalt 17 journaled in the 'l'ramework, and a pinion l8 also secured faston said shaft. said pinion meshing witl a relatively large gear wheel 19fast on another counter shaft 20 journaled in the f'amework. On thislast named shaft, there are two drums, one of which is designated 21.and the other 22, nch ot' these drums heing loose on the shaft. The drum21. is coupled to the shaft 20 through a clutch coming against: or intothe gear wheel '12), the clutch heing operated by a piston rod 23. andthe drum $32 is connected to the shaft J0 by an actuating piston rodQlwhich moves the drum, or the clutch her 26 .tast on said shalt. Itwill of course he understood that; all ot these clutches are ope ated bysteam pressure working against opposite taees ot' the pistons (notshown) in the steam cylinders the steam 'heing supplied to the cylindersin any desired way.

As above stated, both of the gear wheels 8 and 9 are mounted tree orloose on the shaft 7. They are designed to he alternately coupled to theshaft and for this therco't into engagement with a clutch meIn-.
